Live Wallpaper / Live Ambience [duplicate]
Just what the title says... preferably a proof of concept with The Matrix Wallpaper
This could also be used for all those with $disorder to have them see all available contextual data everywhere always (no idea why but some people just want a cluttered and TMI view on their phone/tablet).
Also something like a wallpaper that moves using the accelerometer would be nice. Gives a nice perception of depth IMO.

for what phone is made for? usability or fashion fruity trendy ?

chemist ( 2015-03-13 14:02:39 +0200 )editI personally have no problem with jolla implementing such a feature that will increase the WOW factor. I'll have a problem with jolla if they dumb down the interface to make it more familiar to iOS/Android users. But thats another topic.
